Are you asking about the better diesel engine or the best chassis, or the best complete diesel pusher motorhome? Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Al F Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 If you are comparing a "Super C" to a Class A diesel pusher then I would say you do not get the same "space" for the length of the motorhome. The 4-5 feet of engine space sticking out the front of the Super C is wasted area as far as living space.

I have see what appears to be HDT trucks with cherry pickers mounted on them with 4 wheel drive used to work on rural power lines. So I guess you could get a Super C build on HDT 4x4 chassis.

fly2low Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) I am currently wrestling with this question. I currently have a 2007 Dynamax built on a Freightliner chassis. Built out for boondocking with solar and lithium batteries. We spend most of our time boondocking down forest service and BLM gravel roads. I would like larger holding tanks, so am looking at either a slightly larger Super C or a Tiffin Allegro Bus 37. I like the bus but a rear engine and radiator may not deal well with a 50 mile gravel/dust road For Super C, would only consider a Renegade or Showhauler. Both are very well built. For chassis, the minimum would be the M112 (NOT 106) Freightliner. Allows placement of a larger engine Edited October 1, 2020 by fly2low Quote Rich and Carol 2007 Dynamax DQ 340 XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allows placement of a larger engine I would not take a rear engine diesel, especially one with the radiator in the rear behind the engine repeatedly down a dusty road. I would be very concerned about all the dust getting on the radiator. Watch out for the overhang behind the rear axle as well as a really long wheel base when going down gravel roads. Easy to drag the rear bumper or get high centered.

fly2low Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) the Class A I was considering has a side radiator, but having no experience with them, I still suspect they are problematic considering how I would use them. The Newmar linked above meets my chassis requirements, but having looked at them, the Renegade Classic, and the equivalent Showhauler, I feel the later two are a better value. Especially since one of my criteria is a length of < 40 feet Edited October 1, 2020 by fly2low Quote Rich and Carol 2007 Dynamax DQ 340 XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce t Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Simple choice for me. A class pushers are a PITA to service. Super Cs can be serviced at any truck centre. And for truck centre prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
